Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

NetherlandsOur family of three had a fantastic week-long stay at SM Mellini Relais B&B in Rome. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and beautifully maintained, providing a perfect retreat after our daily explorations. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and always available to offer help and advice, making our stay even more enjoyable. We loved the choice of breakfast, which was conveniently served in our room each morning. The location in the Prati district was perfect – quiet yet centrally located, with most attractions within walking distance. There were ample choices of nice restaurants nearby, adding to the overall experience. The building itself is beautiful, enhancing the charm of our stay. We highly recommend SM Mellini Relais B&B for anyone visiting Rome!

New ZealandNothing, I was happy with everything.
I really enjoyed my stay at SM Mellini Relais B&B. The room and the property were newly renovated and immaculately clean (it is a small B&B which occupies part of the second floor of a building) . I found the bed really comfortable. The staff were helpful and very friendly and Matteo’s communication was great. I arrived out of hours but everything was clearly explained and I had no issues accessing my room. I also really enjoyed the location. It was a short walk to most sites and the city centre but was in a quieter neighborhood. I highly recommend this property.

United StatesThe sounds were a bit loud throughout the day and early in the morning starting at 7am. We were in a busy area in town so this is understandable. Just be aware to bring earplugs to help with adjusting the sleep schedule if needed to sleep after the flight. At nighttime it was quieter.
Beds were comfortable thank goodness! The location was great! The staff were wonderful especially Virginia! We had a perfect stay for our honeymoon and were very happy to have breakfast in our room each morning too. They went out of their was to ensure our stay was fantastic. I would definitely stay there again.

BelgiumWhat is not to love? The B&B has a perfect location just across the Tiber in a more quiet part of Prati and has a wonderful design. The rooms are spacious and very clean. The staff is very kind and helpful. It was no problem to check-in earlier, we got a lot of explanation about where the places to be were and how we could reach them and on our last day, we could leave our luggage for some hours after check-out. The breakfast is tasteful and there’s elaborate choice. This is definitely a great place to stay when you’re in Rome, I would highly recommend!

United KingdomAlmost nothing. The room is not that spacious for three. However we won’t complain as the size of the room was described exactly when we booked. Besides the ceiling is tall, featured with paintings, which makes room comfy and large.
Location is excellent. The area is safe and quiet, walking distance to most tourist attractions. Few good restaurants in different cuisine are nearby. Flat is clean, facilities are all in good condition. All staffs are friendly, helpful. The lady gave a short induction about the transports, restaurants and how to go to popular places and a local tourist map in the morning of our second day. The owner always gives prompt responses. We reported the battery of safer running low when we arrived, he replied immediately and got it fixed at the same day even it was late.

PolandJust a small thing, the room are spacious (high ceilings) and become quite acoustic. The windows provide good shading, daj at night but are single (topical in warm countries), that let some noice from the nearby street. The hosts are also not responsible for the loud guests who do not care that they laughters are audible, door slamming etc. However, if you are a light sleeper like me bear that in mind and do not forget ear plugs. If your sleep is sound like my husband’s do not worry your rest will be uninterrupted.
This is a very welcoming place, very clean (rooms are cleaned everyday and towels changed) breakfast of your selection (the day before) comes to your room on a mobile table. If you wish they would provide additional things. It is a nice option if you like romantic breakfast in bed. Location superb in Prato close to the place from where you get a BusAhuttle for just 6,5€ per person 900 m from the Metro and just round the block from several buses that will Take you anywhere. Close to Vatican easy connection or within walkable distance to major attractions. Very close to S. Angelo and Piazza di Popollo. The host provides you with a helpful list off recommended restaurants and bars in Prato, Center and Trastevere, and also the list of attractions and info how to get there which is really nice. Very nice staff, in easy contact, self check in after 2 pm you get codes and enter everything is clearly explained in messages via WhatsApp. Comfortable room good size, simple furnishing but the bed was really comfy and the pillows super good. Nice bathroom, good lighting good selection of tv programs most Italian but you can find something or just log into your own Netflix account. Some nice restaurants nearby even a Michelin one that we recommend. Altogether a very good value for money in comparison to everything you get round here.
